Alaska reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Alaska.
I suffer from Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and I get nonepileptic seizures (PNES) multiple times a day. I’ve been using Erez from the Tikun brand which helped with the seizures but it did make me paranoid sometimes. It also made me sleep A LOT during the day and it was hard for me to shake off the feeling of fatigue and irritability. Alaska is a game changer for sure! My mood is lifted. I feel energetic and ready to conquer the day! I’ve stayed out of bed a lot longer with Alaska! And it doesn’t cause panic attacks like other hybrids and sativas I’ve tried. This is a staple product for me for sure. I’m getting my life back because of it. It’s Alaska during the day and Erez at night for me. FND is finally manageable. Thank you Tikun.
This would be nice for someone looking for a "head high". It makes me too foggy headed to offer any benefit.
Minty, Cold energizing as hell and refreshing. For those of you who don't know, the name "Tikun olam" in hebrew directly translates to "World fixing". The name speaks for itself, Tikun olam keeps making amazing strains every single year. This is definitely my sativa of choice.
I gave it a '5' because its one of the best alpha pinene dominant(#1 in terpene abundance) strains out there and alpha pinene dominant strains are rare. No one knows the genetics but its bred in israel and seed is not available. The flowers were not dense, but not sparse like a true haze, but they exhibit a notable sweet piney fragrance. The alpha pinene is obvious in smell and in its great taste. The alpha pinene brings its own uplifting effects and beta ocimene is also present at significant levels for even more mental energy. There are some other strains are high in alpha pinene (as 2nd or 3rd most prevalent terpene) including strawberry cough, strawberry switchblade, blue dream, strawberry ice but this one is amazing in its pinene effects, they are on another level and it makes this strain more daytime suitable than those. I got a 20% discount so at $40 for 1/8th @ vidacann, so the price was reasonable. Some cannabis has such a big terpene effect that you don't even ask how potent it is. This is probably at or below 20% THCA based on tactile feel(not too sticky in fingers), but it has more potent effects than many 25% and higher strains I have tried recently. Because it is alpha pinene dominant, get it the day or two after it hits the shelves for best effects. Alpha pinene is a low boiler so it will dissipate in storage faster than some other strains. I always want an alpha pinene dominant strain in my choices for medicating, and this one is one of the best I have tried.
As I once described it to a friend, “you will still get your shit done for the day, you just won’t be annoyed that you are doing it.” Great for me as a Sativa since I never feel paranoid with it.
I purchased this strain from VidaCann in Florida, and so far, I have been nothing but impressed. I normally stick to indicas or indica dominant hybrids since I have really bad anxiety, but the bud tender at my dispensary assured me that this strain was specifically made to help anxiety, so it might be a safer sativa to try. This logic made enough sense to me, so I gave it a go. I have not experienced any paranoia/anxiety at all, and I have been very energized while using this strain. For me I got an overall sense of well being and a nice energetic mood that I could easily workout/run during. Overall I would highly recommend this strain if you have it available in your area, it makes for a great daytime strain that allows you to still be able to get work done if need be.

In a word, fantastic! This might be my new go to for the rest of our Reno… made sanding , patching and scraping old plaint off a door seem like a treat. Not even joking… I’m excited to paint a ceiling tomorrow. Best high ever. 😂 If you have a job to do, this will help you get it done!
When I was younger I loved sativas, but since entering the FL medical program, I could not find one that agreed with me. I no longer liked that heady cloudy feeling sativas give. Alaska doesn't do it at all. It's like the anti-sativa sativa. Perfect for daytime use without feeling stupid. Absolutely helps with concentration and absolutely ZERO anxiety when using it. Flavor is amazing, and I really just can't recommend it enough.
